UJ position to tliu iiruit'iplo ot throet legislation which
has boon adopted in hall' tho statos of tho Union and is still
spreading. Because of pride in American statesmen, all

against tho initiative aud referendum. His arguments aro
so woak mid )tiorilo that thoir continued nttoranoo and
publication will oanso ovor tho darkest shades of repub
lican partisans to lose all faith in tho intellectual leader
ship of thoir prophets.
In his latest address tr. Tall tells his audience, which
ho moans shall include tho whole nation, (twit in adopting
the initiative and referendum in this country wo aro tak
ing up with a political system that was found wanting and
abandoned in previous centuries, because unsuitod to
political governments.
In these arguments lr. Tuff shows himself to bo in
capable of understanding the philosophy of history. It
is tho key to his lailuro in the
to be ot that typo ot mind that never sees beyond its tune:
that concludes that tho ago in which ho lives is an improve
ment upon the past ages, and that thereforo that which
has boon abandoned in the past was abandoned because of
its imperfections that that which has boon rejected was
bad and that which lias boon preserved is good. (Tf this
wore only tmen
The student of history knows there have been periods
in the history of several nations when justice was more
prevalent than in this age when the mass of tho people
enjoyed more comparative comfort, and happiness than
they do today.
"Vc know' there wore nations founded upon principles
of government that were destroved in the name of religion
by a race that replaced liberty and freedom with slavery,
degradation and the most heartrending oppression man is
capable of comprehending.
religion, we might well ask, as the world the gainer when
the civilization of the Indian was destroyed to make room
for the Spaniard, the Puritan and the Dutch trader1?
To be specific, Mr. Taft seems to believe that because
in the early history of the Germanic tribes the laws were
made by the people at their public meetings, called the
ufolk-moot," and that the "folk-moot" was abandoned for
destroyed); that its uselessness or lack of usefulness has
been established, and that in now adopting direct legisla
tion in this country we arc gathering up the politican flot
sam and jetsam of former ages.
The historv of the "folk-moot" shows that it was the
system of a free people, and as
m that manner the people so governed were free, and when
the "folk-moot" was abandoned the people from freedom
descended to serfdom and slavery. Under the "folk
moot" the people were all landholders, but after it was lost
the baronial estates replaced the oicupancy by the culti
vator, who became a feudal tenant.
The "folk-moot" was succeeded by government by the
inhabitants of the castles, who counted the cultivators of
the soil as they did their herds of swine. The priest was
established as a political factor to assist in keeping them
in subjection.
Then came the French revolution, the revolt growing
out of the oppression of centuries, and the maddened at
tempt to regain the natural rights of men that thoy had
been robbed of in the name of religion and government.
Ever since mankind has been struggling, blindly some
times to regain the natural God-given rights of self-government.
The contest today is in its final stage, with the
goal in sight. It is in the final stage today, because man
kind has not before within 500 veal's been prepared to
enjoy these rights as he is today.
The underlying cause of most of the world's injustice
in government can bo traced to lack of intellectual develop
ment of the mass of the people. "When the world's knowl
edge was preserved in clay tablets and parchment writings
when only the priests and their protectors could read and
write, then the mass of the people were either at the mercy
of the cruelty and selfishneess of tho few who desired to
rule, or the cunning and brutality of their own ignorant
kind.
In the contest between the masses and the classes, the
masses have always been handicapped by ignorance, for
knowledge was restricted to the fc'w. But the diffusion of
knowledge through the education of the people and by the
press is rapidly preparing the masses for the responsibil
ities of government. Tt is this intellectual progress that
Mr. Taft and those like him fail to consider and will not
see. The light of popular intelligence will soon dissolve all
the dark mysteries of politics and government and will
illumine the world with one great idea a government "of
the people, by the people and for the people."

SLEEP A FACTOR OF LIFE
II) James ltholerlrk
(Continued from Ycstordny )
Steeping and waking are thu trough
and crest of the llfc-ne, tho potcn
tlal and kinetic factors, tho poles of
life. Any wave form, "trough and
crest," must bo defined In the same
tcrniR, exrept that one gives heat, 0110
light and ono life The two poles
mark and amplitude and by thu uni
versal laws of motion tiro equal, only
that In life, from numerous causeH,
these factors are "o.ueerod" so that
thoy are often out of vital balance.
This law of ltal balance as neces
sary to health, gives to the subject
n profound tconomlc importance.
Tho factors of life npix'tir to bo
unequal, as man seems to wnku
about tulcu ns lung as ho sleep;),
but theso opposite stales havo never
been standardized. Wo nro some
times half asleep when we aro said
to be awake, and also partly nwako
when wo nro considered asleep, all
turning upon tiio degree of construe

tho body.
It Is a living clock and must bo re.
wound. This winding up process In
full tide, totally abgorbB toll con
scious or waking energies, causing a
deep shadow to fall on the orgnnlsm
called sleep. When (his work Is com
plete a wonderful transformation
takes place. Tho dynamo becomes
motor, tho unwinding of tho spring
sets free tho stored energy which
manifests Itsolf as consrlousncHS. Tho
Hying organism Ih a vital "alterna
tor," the poiltlvo and negative

ing. Thus the question of alimenta
tion Is Inxperaruhly relutod to sloop
as the treo and Its shadow, Ih Itself
a factor of life whose Hmbol Is sleop.
Life Is polar, as sex Is polar and all
variations In those polar factors,
means a commensurate chuugu In thu
vital balance, necessaiy to health,
slnco this Is tho law of motion. Man
